The 1968 Austin-Healey Sprite is an icon in British roadster history, beloved for its sheer driving pleasure and compact size. This example is equipped with the lively 1275cc 4-cylinder engine, mated to a manual transmission, offering a sporty driving experience typical of British classics of this period. Originally designed as an affordable sports car, the Sprite became a beloved classic thanks to its simplicity, light weight, and surprisingly spirited performance. This particular example has been restored in the past.
The British Racing Green paintwork contrasts beautifully with the chrome wire wheels and the elegant black soft top. The interior is a stylish combination of black leatherette with white piping, creating a classic, chic look. The Moto Lita sports steering wheel enhances the sporty character and encourages active driving, while the minimalist dashboard exudes an authentic British feel. Combined with the gleaming bodywork and refined details, this Sprite is a feast for the eyes and a joy to drive for true enthusiasts. The paintwork and interior show minor signs of wear here and there.
